CORBIN, Ky. (AP) -- A dog that got separated from its owners after a roll-over crash on Interstate 75 about three weeks ago has been found and is getting ready to go home.

The Dalton family was returning home to Ohio when their vehicle flipped near in southern Kentucky, near Corbin, after a trailer they were hauling went out of control. The family of four escaped serious injury, but they lost their dog, Bear, who ran away from the crash site.

Wallens Towing owner Daniel Wallen, who worked the crash site and led volunteer efforts to find the dog, told WYMT-TV (http://bit.ly/IiYCx5) that Bear was caught Monday by a volunteer who set a trap. Wallen says he called the family to let them know.

Shauna Dalton told WYMT-TV that she was grateful to Corbin residents who persisted in looking for their dog.
